New Mass Effect 3 details out in the wild

10 May 2011

The latest issue of Official Xbox Magazine is out and about, and a poster over on NeoGAF has conveniently summarised all the important bits of its Mass Effect 3 feature, so you save your money to buy sweets instead. Obviously, some minor spoilers are included:

  • You can jump and roll in the game, and blindfire has been introduced.
  • As well as gaining civilisation’s allegiance, you can lose them to the Reapers if you don’t play right, similarly to losing squadmates in the suicide mission.
  • Your weapons have three upgrade slots -scope, barrel and grip, and you can change the colour and camouflage of weapons.
  • Cerberus and Husks will be main enemies, and Cerberus is divided into three main types of troops – heavy bruisers, medium and light.
  • You may be able to get an eyepiece, like Garrus’s, that will allow non-sniper weapons to scope in further, which also hints at armour having more of an effect on gameplay.
  • Bioware is going to announce something big at E3 – a lot of the gameplay features and more squadmates.

Finally, the post also reveals one galaxy-class spoiler.

Don’t read any further if you don’t want to see it.

Seriously.

Last chance to back out.

Highlight to read: GARRUS MIGHT DIE OMG.
